There's something to be said for embracing who you are.

I'm not one of these guys who says 'Now I'm on a really hot show. Better quit soon before I get labeled.' That's the most ridiculous notion I'd ever heard.

I think, if I've learned anything over the years, it is that every single season is a unique one.

Every day I get more and more honest.

My goal was, and still is, to write first, direct my own stuff whenever possible and control my own creative destiny.

I love telling stories, that's it. I love it. That's the word I would choose to describe what I love the most.

So often, the best way to figure out who has a shot at winning is by eliminating those that you're pretty sure don't.
